Abstract: An illustrative embodiment provides a computer-implemented process for distributed management of native interface arrays. The computer-implemented process obtains an array type native interface call in a first system from a caller in a second syste m, identifies an array type of the array type native interface call to form an identified array typ e and requests array elements associated with the identified array type to form requested array elements, wherein added metadata is associated with the requested array elements. The computer - implemented process builds an enhanced data structure using the requested array elements and the associated added metadata and returns a pointer within the enhanced data structure to t he caller, wherein the pointer can be used by the caller to manipulate array data of the array elements and the first system can calculate an address of the added metadata in constant time from the pointer.
